Recent Reviews in Barnard Castle

Hotel Indigo Durham by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay in central Durham. Very comfortable room and the staff were excellent."

Langley Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and we had a wonderful stay. All of the staff was a pleasure to talk with. We stayed in the tower suit on the fifth and top floor. Be aware there is no elevator but they do have a small lift for your suitcase and staff can bring up for you. The lounge and bar area was beautiful to sit in. We also had dinner at the castle and it was fantastic. the chef prepared us some extra dishes that were delicious we felt like we were treated like royalty. At 1015 every day they do a tour of the castle and talk about the history. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kept it fun and light hearted. The grounds also has peacocks we had a fun time walking around looking for them. Over all it was a wonderful stay and I highly recommend it."

North Lakes Hotel And Spa

8/10 Good

"Didn’t pay the extra £15 per person in order to use the pool - that’s extortionate when you are already a resident! Facilities looked nice however. Decor of whole hotel lovely. Waiter Joe was really good in the evening. Room suffers from road noise if you have to have the window open (it was hot!) - understandable as it is very convenient to the M6 junction."

Shap Wells Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was clean Staff - excellent Breakfast - Good (staff struggled to do their job). replenishments were slow."

Hotel Bannatyne Durham

10/10 Excellent

"Good hotel, premium room was worth it. Easy parking and good bus services into town."

Runa Farm

8/10 Good

"Unfortunately my wife had fairly bad illness during our stay, through no fault of the hotel, but I would like to praise the staff, especially the night manager for the assistance to transfer my wife to hospital."

Radisson BLU Hotel Durham

10/10 Excellent

"A very pleasant hotel, ideal for exploring Durham and Newcastle. Pros: helpful and friendly staff, a spacious and clean room, and a swimming pool. Unfortunately, there’s an extra charge for parking. From the outside, the building could be better maintained and cleaned (dirty window sills)."

Commercial Hotel

8/10 Good

"The building is approaching a few hundred years old, so expect stairs etc. We stayed here while we were in the UK for a family wedding, the rooms were clean and tidy with individual bathrooms, no complaints. We did not go into the bar. The staff were next level in their warmth, helpfulness and friendliness. They went above and beyond to help us out and it was much appreciated."

The Old Well Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Large room, staff great, breakfast best I've had in a very long time, bacon amazing. Bar friendly and good pint of real ale, also a good beer garden."
